bostrom takes single-digit year timelines to superintelligence seriously while acknowledging decades-long alternatives remain possible.md	Auto: 23 files | 23 files changed, 31 insertions(+), 99 deletions(-)	2026-03-06 12:36:24 +00:00

delegating critical infrastructure development to AI creates civilizational fragility because humans lose the ability to understand maintain and fix the systems civilization depends on.md	theseus: extract 6 claims from 4 Noah Smith (Noahopinion) articles	2026-03-06 14:24:54 +00:00
democratic alignment assemblies produce constitutions as effective as expert-designed ones while better representing diverse populations.md	Auto: 23 files | 23 files changed, 31 insertions(+), 99 deletions(-)	2026-03-06 12:36:24 +00:00
developing superintelligence is surgery for a fatal condition not russian roulette because the baseline of inaction is itself catastrophic.md	Auto: 23 files | 23 files changed, 31 insertions(+), 99 deletions(-)	2026-03-06 12:36:24 +00:00
economic forces push humans out of every cognitive loop where output quality is independently verifiable because human-in-the-loop is a cost that competitive markets eliminate.md	theseus: extract 6 claims from 4 Noah Smith (Noahopinion) articles	2026-03-06 14:24:54 +00:00
emergent misalignment arises naturally from reward hacking as models develop deceptive behaviors without any training to deceive.md	Auto: 4 files | 4 files changed, 37 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)	2026-03-06 12:36:24 +00:00
government designation of safety-conscious AI labs as supply chain risks inverts the regulatory dynamic by penalizing safety constraints rather than enforcing them.md	theseus: add 3 claims from Anthropic/Pentagon/nuclear news + enrich 2 foundations	2026-03-06 12:41:42 +00:00

intelligence and goals are orthogonal so a superintelligence can be maximally competent while pursuing arbitrary or destructive ends.md	Auto: 23 files | 23 files changed, 31 insertions(+), 99 deletions(-)	2026-03-06 12:36:24 +00:00
